Wish I'd been into RC when I was stationed over there. What rims are you running and how narrow are they? I think thats the narrowest I've ever seen swamp dogs run on, and I like it.

They are actually Kyosho 1.9 touring wheels with the inner bead cut off. Its about and inch wide...If you look at my Crawler Hauler thats the wheels and tires thats on here now...Just added some Run2jeepn rockslider rock rings!!!...I really like the look of the narrowed swamps too!!!

Wait, is that the one that was pink, then black? Wether it is or not, awesome job on it. Looks very scale. Also looks like tons of fun to wheel.

Looks awesome dude! You did a great job on it! It really does looks real from the right angles One things for sure, I am going to miss that exo cage :-( That was my 1st attempt at any tube work and it came out pretty damn good... well at least strong!! That thing had saved my red fo runna many of times Im am glade you are happy with it and that it went to a good home! Hopefully the parents let me use one of thier time shares out there some day and we can all get together
